a day a year a lifetime

[Verse 1]
Dust clouds swallow the sun, no horizon, just haze,
Boots stomp over bones, treadin' yesterday's graves.
Steel kisses flesh, whispers death in the breeze,
Echoes of the fallen carried by the trees.

A child clutchin' a toy, but it’s shrapnel in his hand,
No playgrounds here, just a scorched, barren land.
Smoke signals to the sky, but no gods reply,
Prayers lost in the static where the vultures fly.

[Chorus]
It’s a never-ending war, no cease, no truce,
Both the body and the mind caught in the noose.
Marchin' through the ruins, what’s it all for?
Life’s just a battlefield, an endless war.

[Verse 2]
Sleep’s a sniper, takin' aim at my rest,
Dreams ambush my sanity, bullets to the chest.
I dodge 'em in the trenches of my weary brain,
But the landmines of memory bring the pain again.

Blood on my hands, but it ain’t my own,
Phantom screams in my ears, their faces unknown.
Invisible scars carve stories on my soul,
I fight two fronts, one seen, one untold.

[Bridge]
Hands shake, but I’m holdin’ my ground,
Even silence here’s got a deafening sound.
Voices ricochet in the caverns of my skull,
Every breath a battle, every moment full.
